Say the Words: Climate Change

As anyone who has read anything I have ever written or ever
heard me speak can surmise, I think that words matter.

A lot.

I often tell the story from my college days of receiving a
nice thank you card from a young lady, a card signed, “Love, Carol.”It sent me for a loop. Because, you see, the
way I grew up, “love” was a word spoken or written to another person only with
the most earnest of intent and sincerity of heart. If you didn’t really mean it, you didn’t say it.

As I wrap up our first online meeting for the League’s Risk Management for Public Entities (RMPE) study group, I would be remiss if I did not let everyone know of this group, once again, and how it can help you obtain your RMPE certification.
